Moravia

Moravia is a historical region of the Czech Republic located in the east of the country; it borders Bohemia to the west and Czech Silesia to the northeast. The Margraviate of Moravia was a territory of the Holy Roman Empire from 1004 to 1806 and then a property of the Austrian Empire until 1918, when the end of World War I led to the creation of Czechoslovakia out of the independent Czech regions. Olomuc was the capital before the Thirty Years' War before Brno replaced it, and the region's population of Moravians are currently in conflict with the Czechs of Bohemia. There was a population of 3,100,000 in 2016, covering 8,628.95 square miles.
